So: the Iowa Caucus is going to be an absolute bonkers trainwreck that will make 2016 look like a mild row at the summer camp.

With recent IA Supreme Court decision, it's clear that Name and Shame is the only avenue for dealing with sexual harassers and predators in elected office, until election day. A thread.
